The functional machine safety is currently often a topic, since by year's end, the new ISO 13849 machine guidelines will be mandatory. Due to this change in the standards, users are demanding a complete automation solution with integrated safety technology. In this context, the exchange of Safety-relevant data is becoming increasingly important. The real-time Ethernet bus VARAN from Sigmatek is apt for automation systems, which must comply with SIL3 according to IEC 61508 or Performance Level PL e according to ISO 13849 respectively. Safety-relevant and standard data are exchanged in the same bus system, and this without affecting the data transfer speed at the shortest cycle times.
